She was a member of the post-op medical team/ pediatric care of the surgery that separated celebrated Filipino conjoined twins Regina and Renata Fierros years ago. She is presently working in the pediatric intensive care unit.)

From Myra: “I’m very glad I joined the Philippine Minnesotan Medical Association (PMMA) 2012 Medical and Surgical Mission to Alaminos , Pangasinan last Jan.29- Feb.4.

The group of 77 doctors, nurses and other personnel provided

free medical, surgical and dental services to thousands of clients. I’m so fortunate I was able to work with the recovery room team and care for post-op pediatric patients who have undergone repair of cleft lip and cleft palate.

“These patients were unable to get surgical treatments before because they couldn’t afford the cost of surgery and hospitalization.
